The Alabama quarterback was named as one of 15 semifinalists for the Walter Camp Award and one of five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.

McCarron is one of three SEC players up for the Walter Camp Award, which honors the nation's best college football player. Others include Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones. The winner will be announced on Nov. 28.

McCarron has thrown for 2,158 yards and 20 touchdowns with only two interceptions through 10 games this season.

McCarron is also a semifinalist for the Maxwell (top player) and Davey O'Brien (top quarterback) awards.
